Business Acquisition w/ Leased Property

What are factors to consider when evaluating buying a business that has a leased location vs buying a business + buying the property that the business is located on? 

Could someone help me understand how to determine if buying a business with a leased location is a good investment?

Make sure that you understand whether you like the idea of purchasing the OpCo with or without the real estate. If it's the former, make sure that you strip out all real estate from the BS and add back the lease costs to the P&L statement
